Just to add on this, of course we do have deadlines: We plan from sprint
to sprint. And what we released as "FLOW3 1.0.0 alpha" versions are our
sprint releases of the framework. We postponed two of the alpha releases
because it didn't do any harm and gave us the opportunity to include
some bigger features (like the static object container), but in general
we stick to the dates set.
